Filmmaker Statement

For a while my creativity felt stale and it didn’t incite the excitement it used too. There was something missing with what I was doing and I couldn’t understand what it was. I felt I was living life in a circular motion. Doing the same things and experiencing the same things. I needed a change. When I wrote this film these were the thoughts that were actively on my consciousness. A lot of things when I’m creating films or art I just have a feeling. And often times I for that moment lack the vocabulary to explain what it is I’m feeling. I use film a form of visual poetry. It’s a vessel that helps me make sense of what it is that I’m experiencing. I hope when you watch this you felt something. And it helped you make sense of something you may not have had words for. Or at the least it made you feel something other than the circular emotions you’ve been experiencing. “The Circle” is just a line but something profound happens when that line bends and takes on new forms.
